Summertime is here again. Everyone can feel it. With the temperatures rising and clouds seem to be rare, sure summer once again is here. With the scorching heat and dry feel in your skin, one can imagines lying by a bed in the beach or dipping themselves in cool pool water. Others may choose to stay at home and have a good siesta. Some go to mall to get the benefit of air conditioning. Well everyone seems to have an idea of escaping the heat from the sun. 

While others seem to be enjoying the summertime by relaxation, others are just merely irritated. Why? First, with the hot sun shining through the land it evaporates the water reservoirs across the country. Meaning, less power generation and limited amount of water supply for domestic, industrial and agricultural use. Who wants power interruption by the way and water being rationed instead of a free flow from your own faucets at home.  With the water being scarce, the government has come up with a plan. Get water from Laguna lake. Well with a thousand meter square area i think it can supply at the water needs in the metro and some irrigation for farms also. Well there is a big poster in our laboratory about a plan on how to clean and use water from the lake. It’s collecting some dust there, so it’s been decades i think that the option of getting water from the lake was in plan. Of course no one ever made it from plan to a facility. Now they came up with that idea? Yey! Of course not now that the Laguna Lake is one of the biggest septic tank in the world. Imagine drinking water that came from a septic tank? It’s like drinking your own pee and poo. Ewww!!

So as you stay home and relax or watch TV, there is a power interruption lasting about 2-3 hours. Whoa! Who can bear staying in your room for 2-3 hours without a cool air coming from a fan or an air conditioner? But hey we can tap that light from the sun and turn it into electricity. Of course it is too expensive to build a solar power facility. Expensive in a way that they can’t afford a small solar power facility but they can afford a nationwide broadband deal. Silly. Who can run a computer without electricity from a socket by the way? Silly again. 

Poor agriculture industry being struck by the phenomena. Well if we have better forecasting equipment maybe we can warn them not to plant early this year because a massive heat will soon come. They also came up with the idea of cloud seeding; well there aren’t clouds in the sky to be seeded. Speaking of massive drought, a year has not passed since we experienced flooding throughout the rest of the country. Well the water that we used to hate is the water that we used to find right now. We can say that you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sill water. 

Hope we don’t  came to a point where “ubos-ubos biyaya, mamaya nakatunganga” and thinking about ideas that are just ideas.
